Sorry it took so long to get back! I keep thinking I will get an email notice that there is a comment!!!
Thank you for the advice about using JPEG images, I will certainly try it! I am glad to know that I am not the only one!
I must say that your solution for using the backtick is a LOT better than mine!!!!
<h3><img src="http://sagesunicorn.wordpress.com/files/2007/01/animatedlargerwhiteuni.gif" alt="My Name is Uni!" /><font color="#c0c0c0"><em><strong>Hi All!</strong></em></font>
<font color="#c0c0c0"><em><strong>I thought I would bring up just a few little things about Green Living today that might help all of us "just try to get along" and hopefully "make this world a better place"!!!</strong></em></font>
<font color="#c0c0c0"><em><strong>Cars; We can’t all afford to buy a hybrid, but we can still make a positive difference to the environment. How you drive and maintain your vehicle can help.</strong></em></font>
<font color="#c0c0c0"><em><strong>3 simple solutions that everyone can do are: </strong></em></font>
<font color="#c0c0c0"><em><strong>Obey the speed limit: Your fuel economy is lowered by about 10 percent and driving over the speed limit can also increase tailpipe pollution in many vehicles!</strong></em></font>
<font color="#c0c0c0"><em><strong>Unload: 100 pounds of extra weight in your car can reduce fuel economy by 1 percent. Take the items out of your back seat and/or trunk that you really do not need!</strong></em></font>
<font color="#c0c0c0"><em><strong>And, Combine trips. Once your engine is warmed up, it creates much less pollution!</strong></em></font>
<font color="#c0c0c0"><em><strong>If you use your car every day you could try an alternative method of transportation just one day a week. If everyone did this you would be amazed at how much that would help our environment!</strong></em></font>
<font color="#c0c0c0"><em><strong>Try bicycling for a change! </strong></em></font>
<font color="#c0c0c0"><em><strong>Bikes do not produce carbon dioxide emissions. Biking is a clean form of transportation! </strong></em></font>
<font color="#c0c0c0"><em><strong>Biking is good for firming, toning & calorie-burning!</strong></em></font>
<font color="#c0c0c0"><em><strong>Biking can boost your mood, moderate exercise will boost levels of euphoria-producing hormones called endorphins!</strong></em></font>
<font color="#c0c0c0"><em><strong>With biking you slow down and are able to enjoy soaking up the local atmosphere and scenery personally I find it a great way to lower stress levels as well!</strong></em></font>
<font color="#c0c0c0"><em><strong>If biking is a little to much exercise for you then you can alway switch your one day a week of not driving your car for Public Transportation!</strong></em></font>
<font color="#c0c0c0"><em><strong>I Know!!! Most of us that drive Always Moan when we hear those 2 horrible words Public Transportation, but I have to tell you since moving to Holland 13 years ago I use Public Transportation a Lot! </strong></em></font>
<font color="#c0c0c0"><em><strong>And I can tell you other than running to the grocery store, in most cases I prefer it!!! YES! I NEVER thought I would hear myself say that, but it is true! Speaking as a person that has had a drivers license of some form since the day I turned 15½, I thought I would never give up my car...and I have not! But when I am going downtown or traveling across the country to visit someone or for an appointment in the next city. I usually always take public transportation!! It is by Far easier and definitely Cheaper!!</strong></em></font>
<font color="#c0c0c0"><em><strong>Where I live you can not park on the streets in downtown and on many streets you can not drive either! So when you find a street that you can drive down and park; the parking lot charges you a fortune for the privilege! And since there is a Lot of places where cars are not allowed you usually have to park a mile away anyway!!! I can walk a block, catch a quick bus, be in downtown in 5 minutes and get dropped off right in the middle of downtown where I want to be for a whole lot cheaper than the price of a parking spot in a parking lot and a lot less walking, after all, when I go downtown I am going to do enough walking without adding to it!!!</strong></em></font>
<font color="#c0c0c0"><em><strong>Taking Public Transportation has many benefits! </strong></em></font>
<font color="#c0c0c0"><em><strong>Read that book that you have been promising yourself you would read for the last 10 years but never have enough time for! </strong></em></font>
<font color="#c0c0c0"><em><strong>Catch up on some work so when you get to the office you are not so rushed! </strong></em></font>
<font color="#c0c0c0"><em><strong>Take a nap while going to and returning from work, you will be a lot fresher and less stressed than you would be when you are stuck in that gridlock traffic!! </strong></em></font>
<font color="#c0c0c0"><em><strong>Look around you and enjoy the scenery and people watch!!</strong></em></font>
<font color="#c0c0c0"><em><strong>I would be willing to bet that if you promise to "leave the driving to them" one day a week for just a month you too would see the benefits of Public Transportation and see it is not as bad as you think!!</strong></em></font>
<font color="#c0c0c0"><em><strong>And with the way the Public Transportation around the World is set up today, I would be willing to bet that there is Public Transportation around your house that is almost as easy as walking to your car, given that you live in a City Limits of course!</strong></em></font>
<font color="#c0c0c0"><em><strong>Well, that's it for me today! Just a few little suggestions to help us All live a Little Greener! I hope to see you here tomorrow for T.G.I.F! and a little more JabberWocky!! </strong></em></font>
<font color="#c0c0c0"><em><strong>Leave no species behind;
Extinction is forever!</strong></em></font>
